4·16 days agoA writer at the NYT tries that about once a year. Here was this year’s
The editors then give the article poor placement so few people see it.
They can say it, but only once in a while, and it doesn’t get prominent placement on the NYT website, so few people hear about it.
The NYT buries articles like this using non-prominent placement. Try finding it on their website without using the search tool
The switch won’t be instant though. There will be a lot more suffering from this kind of unplanned shift than there would have been from the kind of planned one environmentalists have been advocating for

Trump’s Greenland thing is a multi-year obsession, not a one-off
It’s not quite as bad as his obsession with attacking Iran, which goes back into the 1980s, but it’s long-lasting enough that it’s not safe to count on it just going away.
There’s a lot of evidence that it has not moved elsewhere. Let’s look at New York City for example: reducing car traffic inside the zone cut pollution outside the zone by reducing traffic there too
There are very narrow examples where what you describe isn’t impossible, but they tend to involve all-coal electric supply combined with first-generation electric vehicles. Eg: West Virginia 20 years ago.
Just that they weren’t deployed in a way that prevents a pilot who knows where the mines are from avoiding them. In the 1980s, tankers regularly transited despite a risk of mines.
Still makes a lot of sense to me that they’d try to deploy at least some mines; needing an Iranian pilot to get through the strait would provide one more advantage.
Land mines are still getting widely used in Ukraine despite there now being drones. Why is this any different?
It still makes a lot of sense for them; a set of mines which Iran knows the location of would be pretty dramatically to their advantage, just as it did in the 1980s.
Because:
- It’s cheap
- It’s effective
- It’s hard for the US to prevent
- They haven’t gotten takers on their safe-passage thing
It seems to all be anonymously sourced. Still, the kind of thing I’d be really surprised if Iran didn’t do
Fwiw the US only imports about 5% of its nitrogen fertilizer use.
I believe it is mostly nitrogen fertilizer that’s in short supply, not potassium.
Turns out it had a view count limit that I didn’t notice. Here’s an archived copy; not a completely trustworthy archive, but they seem to be accurate on this one.
I think it’s more like Thiel looking for any reason whatsoever to take down Gawker.
There are regular protests outside their main engineering office in Palo Alto.
A big chunk of the US population is quite literate in a language other than English. Another big chunk never got appropriate instruction for learning when you have dyslexia
